Hey guys,
So on my old tank, I had a Geo 612 CalRx with my DOS jerry-rigged to be the feed pump. That tank has since been shut down and I have started a new tank.
Bought a new Geo CalRx to go with it, but decided to try to skip the peristaltic pump by using a needle valve teed off my return to feed it. Low and behold, pretty much everybody is right - it's a pain to keep the effluent consistent.
This tank is in my living room next to my couch, so I am looking for a quiet, somewhat small (small enough to fit in the storage side of a Reefer 350 stand) peristaltic. I tried one of the big MasterFlex's on my old tank but it was so freakin loud so I didn't end up using it.
Any suggestions for something other than a Masterflex? Quick google search brings up a couple interesting options -
Has anybody used any of these Kamoer pumps that are under $100?

I'd prefer not to spend this much, but does anybody have any experience with these and are they quiet?:
